Bloom swept a strand of pale green hair from her face, taking in the sights of her new town.
"Wormwood." She whispered, letting it roll off her tongue and into the new air she'd be breathing from now on.
"Hey?" Someone called out reluctantly. Bloom turned slowly to be greeted by a rather cranky looking bull.
"Oh, hello." She smiled wearily, feeling quite intimidated. The bull returned the smile as he took in her appearance.
"You must be the new kid." He muttered. His eyes rested upon her hair and she twisted a lock of it nervously.
"Yeah that's me. My name is Bloom, nice to meet you." She said.
"Angus." Angus replied with a sigh (almost as if he expected poor Bloom to know who he was!).
"What brings ya to Wormwood then?" He asked after a moment of silence - looking around like he had a better situation to be in.
"Just wanted to start fresh I guess… You can go if you like; I understand you'll have other things to do than play the welcoming committee." Although you're not very welcoming. She plastered on another smile as if to say: It's really okay, just go.
"If you insist! I'll see you around, Bloom." She noticed the look of relief on his face as he left and couldn't help but feel a tad upset. She was going to have a hard time fitting in here.
Just a quick note:
This is my first time uploading a piece of my writing to the internet. I hope you guys aren't too harsh with me... although I am still trying to learn new skills.
This is short mainly because I'd rather see what reviews I get and then carry on. I'll probably carry on writing anyway though as it's proving to be fun, hehe :-)
